Houston Quilt Pics 2

The following quilts are all from various exhibits that were on display at the Houston International Quilt Festival. These are only a very small sampling of the hundreds of quilts that are on exhibit at the Houston Convention Center. In addition to the varied exhibits, there is also the International Quilt Association's competition which includes the many categories where quilts compete for thousands of dollars.

The first several quilts shown below are by art quilter Caryl Bryer Fallert. These are part of a travelling exhibit titled "30 Quilts for 30 Years" which celebrates 30 years of Caryl's art quilts.

A quilt from another exhibit:

"Cutting Down the Tall Poppies" by Helen Godden of Latham, Australia

About Me

Rahna Summerlin

My name is Rahna (pronounced Ron-na, rhymes with Donna). I have been an artist my entire life and a quilter for almost half of it. I am passionate about all forms of creating and am constantly inspired by other artists, quilters, craftspeople and all things creative in general. I also love anything related to home decor and my style blends cottage, vintage and shabby mixed with antiques that are well-loved and worn. I live in a Victorian home in central Florida with my husband David and our crazy yellow lab Cody and kitty Molly.
